John 4
|
| Le Seigneur sut que les pharisiens avaient appris qu`il faisait et baptisait plus de disciples que Jean. | Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism |
| Toutefois Jésus ne baptisait pas lui-même, mais c`étaient ses disciples. | (Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself), |
| Alors il quitta la Judée, et retourna en Galilée. | He went out of Judaea into Galilee again. |
| Comme il fallait qu`il passât par la Samarie, | And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria. |
| il arriva dans une ville de Samarie, nommée Sychar, près du champ que Jacob avait donné à Joseph, son fils. | So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph: |
| Là se trouvait le puits de Jacob. Jésus, fatigué du voyage, était assis au bord du puits. C`était environ la sixième heure. | Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour. |
| Une femme de Samarie vint puiser de l`eau. Jésus lui dit: Donne-moi à boire. | A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water. |
| Car ses disciples étaient allés à la ville pour acheter des vivres. | For his disciples had gone to the town to get food. |
| La femme samaritaine lui dit: Comment toi, qui es Juif, me demandes-tu à boire, à moi qui suis une femme samaritaine? -Les Juifs, en effet, n`ont pas de relations avec les Samaritains. - | The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria. |
| Jésus lui répondit: Si tu connaissais le don de Dieu et qui est celui qui te dit: Donne-moi à boire! tu lui aurais toi-même demandé à boire, et il t`aurait donné de l`eau vive. | In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water. |
| Seigneur, lui dit la femme, tu n`as rien pour puiser, et le puits est profond; d`où aurais-tu donc cette eau vive? | The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water? |
| Es-tu plus grand que notre père Jacob, qui nous a donné ce puits, et qui en a bu lui-même, ainsi que ses fils et ses troupeaux? | Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle? |
| Jésus lui répondit: Quiconque boit de cette eau aura encore soif; | Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again: |
| mais celui qui boira de l`eau que je lui donnerai n`aura jamais soif, et l`eau que je lui donnerai deviendra en lui une source d`eau qui jaillira jusque dans la vie éternelle. | But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life. |
| La femme lui dit: Seigneur, donne-moi cette eau, afin que je n`aie plus soif, et que je ne vienne plus puiser ici. | The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it. |
| Va, lui dit Jésus, appelle ton mari, et viens ici. | Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him. |
| La femme répondit: Je n`ai point de mari. Jésus lui dit: Tu as eu raison de dire: Je n`ai point de mari. | In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband: |
| Car tu as eu cinq maris, et celui que tu as maintenant n`est pas ton mari. En cela tu as dit vrai. | You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said. |
| Seigneur, lui dit la femme, je vois que tu es prophète. | The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet. |
| Nos pères ont adoré sur cette montagne; et vous dites, vous, que le lieu où il faut adorer est à Jérusalem. | Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem. |
| Femme, lui dit Jésus, crois-moi, l`heure vient où ce ne sera ni sur cette montagne ni à Jérusalem que vous adorerez le Père. | Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. |
| Vous adorez ce que vous ne connaissez pas; nous, nous adorons ce que nous connaissons, car le salut vient des Juifs. | You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews. |
| Mais l`heure vient, et elle est déjà venue, où les vrais adorateurs adoreront le Père en esprit et en vérité; car ce sont là les adorateurs que le Père demande. | But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father. |
| Dieu est Esprit, et il faut que ceux qui l`adorent l`adorent en esprit et en vérité. | God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit. |
| La femme lui dit: Je sais que le Messie doit venir (celui qu`on appelle Christ); quand il sera venu, il nous annoncera toutes choses. | The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us. |
| Jésus lui dit: Je le suis, moi qui te parle. | Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he. |
| Là-dessus arrivèrent ses disciples, qui furent étonnés de ce qu`il parlait avec une femme. Toutefois aucun ne dit: Que demandes-tu? ou: De quoi parles-tu avec elle? | At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her? |
| Alors la femme, ayant laissé sa cruche, s`en alla dans la ville, et dit aux gens: | Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people, |
| Venez voir un homme qui m`a dit tout ce que j`ai fait; ne serait-ce point le Christ? | Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ? |
| Ils sortirent de la ville, et ils vinrent vers lui. | So they went out of the town and came to him. |
| Pendant ce temps, les disciples le pressaient de manger, disant: Rabbi, mange. | While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food. |
| Mais il leur dit: J`ai à manger une nourriture que vous ne connaissez pas. | But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge. |
| Les disciples se disaient donc les uns aux autres: Quelqu`un lui aurait-il apporté à manger? | So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food? |
| Jésus leur dit: Ma nourriture est de faire la volonté de celui qui m`a envoyé, et d`accomplir son oeuvre. | Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete. |
| Ne dites-vous pas qu`il y a encore quatre mois jusqu`à la moisson? Voici, je vous le dis, levez les yeux, et regardez les champs qui déjà blanchissent pour la moisson. | You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting. |
| Celui qui moissonne reçoit un salaire, et amasse des fruits pour la vie éternelle, afin que celui qui sème et celui qui moissonne se réjouissent ensemble. | He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together. |
| Car en ceci ce qu`on dit est vrai: Autre est celui qui sème, et autre celui qui moissonne. | In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain. |
| Je vous ai envoyés moissonner ce que vous n`avez pas travaillé; d`autres ont travaillé, et vous êtes entrés dans leur travail. | I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward. |
| Plusieurs Samaritains de cette ville crurent en Jésus à cause de cette déclaration formelle de la femme: Il m`a dit tout ce que j`ai fait. | Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did. |
| Aussi, quand les Samaritains vinrent le trouver, ils le prièrent de rester auprès d`eux. Et il resta là deux jours. | So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days. |
| Un beaucoup plus grand nombre crurent à cause de sa parole; | And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said. |
| et ils disaient à la femme: Ce n`est plus à cause de ce que tu as dit que nous croyons; car nous l`avons entendu nous-mêmes, et nous savons qu`il est vraiment le Sauveur du monde. | And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world. |
| Après ces deux jours, Jésus partit de là, pour se rendre en Galilée; | And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee. |
| car il avait déclaré lui-même qu`un prophète n`est pas honoré dans sa propre patrie. | For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth. |
| Lorsqu`il arriva en Galilée, il fut bien reçu des Galiléens, qui avaient vu tout ce qu`il avait fait à Jérusalem pendant la fête; car eux aussi étaient allés à la fête. | So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast. |
| Il retourna donc à Cana en Galilée, où il avait changé l`eau en vin. Il y avait à Capernaüm un officier du roi, dont le fils était malade. | So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum. |
| Ayant appris que Jésus était venu de Judée en Galilée, il alla vers lui, et le pria de descendre et de guérir son fils, qui était près de mourir. | When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well. |
| Jésus lui dit: Si vous ne voyez des miracles et des prodiges, vous ne croyez point. | Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders. |
| L`officier du roi lui dit: Seigneur, descends avant que mon enfant meure. | The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead. |
| Va, lui dit Jésus, ton fils vit. Et cet homme crut à la parole que Jésus lui avait dite, et il s`en alla. | And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away. |
| Comme déjà il descendait, ses serviteurs venant à sa rencontre, lui apportèrent cette nouvelle: Ton enfant vit. | And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living. |
| Il leur demanda à quelle heure il s`était trouvé mieux; et ils lui dirent: Hier, à la septième heure, la fièvre l`a quitté. | So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour. |
| Le père reconnut que c`était à cette heure-là que Jésus lui avait dit: Ton fils vit. Et il crut, lui et toute sa maison. | It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family. |
| Jésus fit encore ce second miracle lorsqu`il fut venu de Judée en Galilée. | Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee. |
